Sam Galison
Sam is the creator of Body Colony, an interactive sculpture on emergence in ecosystems, for the Unintended initiative. He’s also the co-creator and illustrator of the one true thing* comic, which aims to unpack the nuances and complexities of our everyday assumptions.
Sam Galison is an artist, designer, and technologist based in San Francisco, and the founder of Studio Galison, a transdisciplinary creative production and design studio. He combines digital and traditional craft practices to create compelling, immersive, and focused experiences in a wide variety of media. Sam works in all kinds of media – ink, pencil, optical glass, music, video, photography, experimental electronics – always prioritizing how these disparate methods can come together elegantly to elicit a meaningful, affective engagement. Much of his work deals with empathy, interactivity, mythology, and the intricacies of our human perception. With this raw material, Sam forges unexpected connections between humans and examines our relationship to the nonhuman "natural" world we collectively inhabit. His work is often intimate and subtle; this quiet closeness provides a safe pathway into unfamiliar territory. — via samgalison.com
